Chapter 31: Worth Billions
According to the statistics of Yiku.com, in 2000, "Never Expected" was launched for 15 days, breaking the annual sales record of Yiku.com in one fell swoop, and won the TV drama sales championship that year, nearly 20 million higher than the second Korean TV series "Blue Life and Death Love"!
What's more, this miniseries has only been released for fifteen days, and even if it is the first episode of the premiere, there is still half a month of VIP payment time!
What will be the benefits after that?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
At the same time, on the Internet, an insider from Yiku.com suddenly broke the news that since the show was invested and supervised by Zhang Heng himself, in the distribution agreement signed with the website, in addition to publicity and other aspects, Yiku.com also had a share of up to 55 percent!
As soon as the news broke, there was a shocking wave on the Internet!
According to today's 15-day sales results, 1. 400 million, fifty-fifty shares, excluding taxes, Zhang Heng will get 60 million yuan in income!
And that's just half a month's sales, but what about the whole month's VIP payment time?
Isn't that, hundreds of millions?!
This speculation really can't be true, and the major portals suddenly smelled the excitement, shook their spirits again, and began to bombard the Internet singer Zhang Heng in turn!
"The new diamond king old five Zhang Heng! Earn a net worth of hundreds of millions in half a year! ”
"Internet singer Zhang Heng, successful transformation, the first online mini-series, sales 1. 400 million, won numerous praises, outstanding achievements, and stepped into the billionaire club! ”
"The Most Inspirational Man in 2000: Zhang Heng!"
"It seems that my earlier conclusions are different!" Xu Song, a music critic of Xinhai Blog, posted a blog post: "I once said that Zhang Heng will be the new generation of gold suckers in the entertainment industry in the future and the youngest multimillionaire, but now it seems that I still underestimate him!" As soon as "Never Expected" came out, he was the youngest billionaire! ”
And on the professional film review website "Time.com", after more than 20,000 ratings, "Never Expected" finally ranked 8. 8 points stand still!
Film critic "God of War Blade" commented: "Its popularity and interest lie in the fact that it does meet the psychological demands of most contemporary online audiences for cultural consumption, and, compared with Huaxia's 'shoddy' special effects system, the lines are with enough 'sincerity', fast speech speed and high-density complaining dialogue, filling the gap that there is no storyline setting at all, of course, at least the audience does not need these innocuous stories." ”
In the far West, the Chicago Daily News in the United States has taken a large report on "Never Expected", calling it "the miracle of China", and the article highly appreciates the filming form of "Never Expected", believing that Huaxia has successfully surpassed Japan, South Korea, Thailand and other countries in terms of mini-series, and has stood at the peak of Asian mini-series! But the report is stingy with pen and ink for director Zhang Heng, only a few strokes, saying that the director failed miserably on the big screen, but he gained a lot in the miniseries, and thought that the director Zhang Heng was a lucky cool guy.
In China, Huaxia Film and Television News also focused on the purchase rate of "Never Expected", and also highly praised the director Zhang Heng, which is the first film and television work in China to be recognized by Western countries, and it is also an unprecedented mini-series form!
Just when everyone in the outside world was paying attention to director Zhang Heng and applauding......
The man, who was named the youngest billionaire by the media, walked out of the Bauhinia community with a haggard face, walking eagerly and hurriedly, stopping a taxi on the road, and the car drove towards Yanhai Airport at a high speed.
"I overslept!"
Zhang Heng sat in the taxi, clenching the ticket in his hand tightly, with a bitter face.
A few days ago, the good record company called him to inform him that according to the contract, the **** blue new song was released, and he was obliged to arrive at the scene and participate in the promotion. Xu Ruiyuan's meaning is to prepare Zhang Heng to be at the scene and personally publicly say that he is the original creator of the two works "To Youth" and "Can I Hold You", which is conducive to the sales of **** Lan's new album.
After all, Zhang Heng's current fame and worth are different from the past, he is known as the most gold-absorbing online singer by the online media, every song can be a big hit, and now I don't know how many singers want to pull a line with Zhang Heng.
At the same time, he is also a mini-series director with a net worth of hundreds of millions, and the mini-series he has filmed has reached a record high, and he has achieved remarkable results!
With such a dazzling gimmick, without the launch of the new song of its artists, Xu Ruiyuan must have a toothache in his dreams.
Even he didn't expect that Zhang Heng would make such a result!
But Zhang Heng has a deep understanding of his personal planning.
Since "Never Expected" was launched, Zhao Xingliang, chairman of Yinggu Film and Television, was contacted, during which the two discussed the script of "Let's Get Married", Zhang Heng disappeared from the public eye, but he has never given up his efforts.
While paying attention to the reaction on the Internet to the launch of "Never Expected", he worked diligently at home to code words.
The former is a work need, and the latter is an online novel uploaded on Singularity Chinese in order to seek funds for filmmaking.
The work is called "Breaking the Sky", at first it was two changes a day, and when it reached 30,000 words, Zhang Heng signed a sales contract with Singularity Chinese, and then slowly waited for the website to arrange recommendations. When the third week of the recommendation arrived, Zhang Heng broke out repeatedly, three more times a day, more than 10,000 words a day, the collection rose all the way, the results were gratifying, and the editorial department of the ***** was surprised, the results determined the treatment, and then, "Breaking the Sky" was recommended every week, and when the whole site was strongly promoted, it reached 30,000 collections!
Before it was put on the shelves, the reader tips exceeded 500,000, and the tens of thousands of yuan rewarded by local tyrant readers were not worth mentioning, and there were countless of them, which surprised Zhang Heng, who was originally just holding the mentality of giving it a try!
In his previous life, he had heard of the popularity of "Breaking the Sky", and the sales of various channels were the first, so in this life, when the filming funds encountered obstacles, and when he wanted to seek financial means, Zhang Heng had no choice but to go to work as a code farmer, and carefully selected the works that were famous on the Internet and sold well in the memory of his previous life!
He carefully read the books of Singularity Chinese Network, in 2000, Singularity Chinese Network was already a literary website with a VIP payment system quite popular, and there were many categories of novels, urban, Xianxia, fantasy, science fiction, supernatural, historical overhead, etc., the types that could be mined in previous lives, this life is still displayed one by one.
It's just that in terms of content, due to the weak development of Chinese entertainment, it has never broken through the inherent routines, and in Xianxia novels, the concept of Xiuzhen has just been mentioned, and it has not yet been recognized by the public, and fantasy is copied from the Japanese animation system, such as Dragon Ball and so on. None of the books have a mature writing routine. Among the websites, the most popular ones are only urban, historical and other genres.
Although Zhang Heng was very confident in "Breaking the Sky", he didn't have much thought about it at first when he changed the time and space. But unexpectedly, unexpected surprises are frequently reported, and the readers of Singularity Chinese Network are so tyrannical, which makes Zhang Heng surprised and realized the amazing potential and value of online literature!
Therefore, after the website was strongly pushed, Zhang Heng began to release VIP chapters at the time of 300,000 words when the clicks on "Breaking the Sky" exceeded 5 million and the recommendation exceeded 200,000, and they were put on the shelves for sale.
On the shelves, it's time to pay to read.
In order to repay 30,000 readers, Zhang Heng broke out 21 chapters in a row that day, which made many readers excited. The subscription of the first chapter of the day directly exceeded 10,000, with an average subscription of 8,000, not only entered the boutique channel, but the editor-in-chief of the website also began to intervene strongly, putting the recommendation of all books to the back row, and directly on the second day, he began to push the firepower homepage of "Breaking the Sky"!
